Check out the Battery Monitoring Kit Installation video - • Victron BMV-700 - Batt...
Battery VOLTAGE is the most important measure of your batteries condition. Never let a AGM or any other 12volt nominal battery get below 10.5 volts and preferably 11 volts. Any time you go below 10.5V calcification starts on the plates and battery live is diminished markedly. So get a digital read out voltage meter.
Already ordered one, and I'll be installing it this week. I'll try to put together a video on the process!
Well Mr. Casey Friday....I like it!!.👍 You'll have people every where with different opinions (and some times those that seem a little unnecessarily hostile like Westernsharpie below) but the important thing here is that you and wife like it. 😀 I appreciate the work involved with edit and making this great video. Thanks for the info on safety and registration too. Thanks for sharing. I wish you guys the best. Be careful out there. 🤗
LovingAtlanta d1werty.
Well l saw the outside many times and the ceiling all the time and you..But NO layout video why ????
Go to Escape website to see layouts of all of their models. It only takes a few keyboard clicks!
But we’re already “here”
Too many close up shots of the interior.
This is one of if not best consumer review and tour of any RV I've ever seen. Well done, sir.
Thanks! I aim for quality.
Casey Friday You filled all close up shots . Never scanned over the entire area .
Great that you mentioned the individual products and model info, that is key!
I really do like the fiberglass trailers over the conventional types with the water leaks and laminate separation that you see while driving down the roads. They also seem to keep shape due to less flexing than the wood box types or even the Aluminum (Airstreams). A bit more pricey but from what I have read so far the resale is much higher. Thank you for a great video tour - with the plus and minus to owning this trailer.
Graeman Thanks for pointing this out. Helped me to understand the price difference too.
THE ESCAPE TRAILER IS NICE FOR SHORT PEOPLE'S, NOT TALL.!!. THANKS. !!.💕💖..👍.
Nice trailer! I’m currently staying in my small trailer for work so I don’t have to commute but I like that we drive the same truck, a red Nissan Frontier!
Good camera work-- steady and smooth and in focus. Probably violates TH-cam's terms of service. ;-)
On another subject, how much did your Escape cost?
Ha. A 19' Escape equipped just like ours will cost you about $31k USD today.
GREAT video just I did want to ask the price but 31K USD .
Casey Friday cna you list off your options to get to that price above and beyond the standard escape 19 features ?
Well made video. Scripted, rehearsed, articulate, nicely presented, tightly edited. We need more like this!
I guess it is a matter of opinion. Not a good video at all. Very poor editing. Where is a view of the whole inside? All the shots are extreme close ups. And endless shots of him talking, instead of showing the interior while talking.
you did great job! you should work for HGTV
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!

change your master locks to a better brand. master locks are easily picked, shimmed. go to bosnianbills channel and let him show and tell you about master locks. great video and a great and professional job on narrating your trailer.
I did - I replaced them with American locks. They came highly recommended by the local lock shop in town, and the Amazon reviews are great as well.
that's good to hear. stay secure. and thanks for the reply.
Master now owns American, but the American line is still better than Master line. If you are serious about security, buy a disc lock, preferably Abloy.
I'm serious about security, but arguments could be made for days about X being better than Y. American is really highly rated and recommended, so I'm sticking with American for locking the bikes and propane tanks.
Casey Friday I'll watch for our trailer. You have some gear I could use….easy.
really complete--thank you
Its not a chilly wack, its more a chill a wack, remember Canadians are mostly anticrime.
Chilly ... always cold in canada ... igloos. Lil
wonder if the all aluminium campers are better than fiberglass. like camplite
Aluminum sided campers are much more prone to water leaks and interior rot. Fiberglass eggs are hermetically sealed, so there is way less chance of a leak, which is one of the main benefits.
Trade-offs = no slide-outs, smaller overall floor plan.
Nice trailer!
These trailers are made in Canada, yet the hold the highest rating by US based RV Consumer groups. Quality, and resale are two of the the things that distinguish Escape from other trailers.
What a gorgeous unit! I know you love it. I have a 16' Casita and have been enjoying it so much 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
very well done Casey. Love the trailer. Wish it didn't have a east/west crawlover, but you guys are young. Also, when are all trailer builders going to offer a compressor style refrigerator? so do I notice Airstream, Lance, and Jayco come with them. Gas is less reliable, less room, and down right dangerous. You wouldn't have to cut holes in the camper to vent it, and the compressor style lasts forever.
Thanks for showing the hitch lock, I've watched tons of these camper living videos and yours is the very first one I've ever seen, I never even knew that such a thing was made! Thumbs up for the great info/great video!
Very well done review, Escape should pay you per view, thanks for video.
Thanks! I'm just glad to share the good word about the company. More videos coming soon!
Great vid, dude. Fun to watch. I wonder if they have a twin bed configuration.
Great review, I'm looking at buying a fibreglass trailer in the near future and am curious why you chose the Escape over the competition and if you're still happy with it? Thanks in advance.
Awesome tour!!! You did a great job showing me around your home
Sorry I'm not trying to mock your name but I just randomly came across this video of yours and today is *FRIDAY*..!!!
😂😂
Very well done video. Informative info. Thank you 👍
The Original Mr. E L M E R
well made review of the camper.
can you get an oven as an option? My old tioga I miss so much, I loved baking in it.
Yes, you can; and a microwave.
I'm about to live that RV life for 2017 about the purchase of 25 foot Coachman travel trailer with slide I'm retired military so i we'll make it work
That's awesome! We did it for about 12 months and we're now in an apartment, but it was a great time while we did it. You'll love it!
Really you gave up on RV life?
Dude you never showed the layout. FAIL
Finally someone shows a hitch lock! NICE!
excellent video. thanks for sharing. enjoy each other..
Hor...What does the interior space look like??????
Great video Casey and thanks for posting it. Excellent choice of RV.
Your camper is amazing 👍😎
Looking good!!!! Congrats!!! You gotta Love Texas - I do!! Thanks for sharing!!
I'm reluctant to admit it, but there are definitely things I like about Texas. :)
Why would you be "reluctant to admit it?"
Because I've disliked Texas for a long time, but I'm coming back around and have been finding things to like about it now.
Kenneth Sievers
It sounds like you need a 25 or 26 foot one. Plus you get Generator etc. At first i was trying to find like 10 to 14 Feet, would have been very small. Most of us don't think of the right size because we're all too busy until you move in and see what it's all about. The Gas Mileage is way better then getting a regular size or even diesel full size.
"crack and fall apart"? Right.
holy cow dude, you really know your stuff!
yamaha superbike yamaha fpr life lol maverick is going to be good with yamaha
I hope he does well!
why don't they design a tankless water heater in this or all rv's for that matter.
no clue
geminirat60 They do make tankless water heaters for RVs.
David Densmore cool it makes more sense to me. thx
you know they have an insta-hot tankless systems now!
K. R. V. Actually, I just saw a setup for tankless where a valve sent the cold water back into the fresh tank until hot water triggered the valve to close.
The Escape 19' 2020 is only $27,000 USD....ummmm....yeeeaahhh.... "only" $27 THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Who does warranty work on it in Texas and how long is the warranty?
Most warranty issues are covered with parts/appliance manufacturers, so you can deal directly with places in the US. If service needs to be done and you can't drive to Canada, in some instances Escape will pay for the service performed in the US. Warranty is 2 years.
Why do you cover the wheels like Formula 1 car ??????? Is that to keep the warm temperature and have mor grip???????
Heh, not exactly. It’s to keep the sun from beating down on them and prematurely wearing away the rubber on the tires. Tire covers are primarily used when the vehicle/trailer is not going to be driven for months at a time.
@@CaseyFriday 😲😲😲😲👍
If I was going to buy a smallish travel trailer, the Escape would be high on my list. The Canucks seem to have a knack at building quality products. Also like the Scamp 16' with custom wood interior, the rPod and definitely the beautifully made small Airstreams. Nice video, Tex.
They certainly do have that knack. One year with the trailer, and I only restrung three shades, changed the water pump, and changed the water heater anode rod. That's incredibly low maintenance for a travel trailer!
How come you choose to live in a trailer ? I been thinking it my self many times just to save a ton of money, but well summer is awesome but winter in sweden makes it really difficult.
Unless you really rough it, you probably won't save tons of money; however, in the US, we solve the extreme temperature problem by traveling to more temperate climates when certain places get unbearable. Travel trailers aren't built to withstand the extreme temperatures for long periods of time, but they can definitely do it for short spurts. Good luck with whatever you choose!
Thank you for your answer, well here it usually is between -5 celcius in winter and around 20-30 celcius in summer, but still people travel to warmer countries here in summer and winter :)
@@CaseyFriday but that doesn't answer "Why?", especially if it is not to save money.
Nice Video. Could be less of the guys face, more of inside....and please. Get some decorating help with the bedroom....really, what was that?
After all this guy’s self-involved talking we never get any idea what the inside of the RV looks like inside. Instead we get close-ups of elec sockets, hoses, shelf’s (not cabinets) and this guy’s face. A totally useless video. I have no idea what the RV is like inside. Just tiny little spots. Dopey.
1. Rule #1 in RV tours - remove popcorn music in background. No music. Silence is golden.
2. Rule #2 in RV tours - Show the Van, not the Man. Why are we looking at you instead of the van.
3. Rule #3 in RV tours - get a wide angle lens and show the van. Not someone cooking.
We came to see the trailer not hear a monologue and see a talking head or what's cooking on the stove. Good grief. Do what you advertised in your title. Pan the camera in a wide angle shot. A series of closeups shows us nothing.
The funniest part of this entire video was the end. “The only downside is needing more space and a place for personal time”. I love camping and anyone wanting to do the whole tiny house thing is fine, but living in a 19’ camper for 6 months seems miserable mainly as he stated no space. If a camper was my only option due to money etc.. then fine but i really enjoy my huge fenced in back yard where my dogs love to play, my garage where I spend a lot of time and just my house. We travel whenever we want but always nice coming home and having space with our fire pit in the back yard with a beer
Great presentation of a really nice trailer. Thank you for letting us see it.
Very nice presentation.
*I'm going to live a '19 ft. trailer full-time?* *Then it's a 'Bambi '19cb' 'Caravel' for me!*
*Considering it's $40K or more for a plastic trailer, I'd spend $65K for a 'Coach' that will last a lifetime*
Good video. I know what you mean about the lack of space. We bought a R-Pod 178 (about the same size as your Escape) last year to get ready for "1/2Time RVing". The lack of storage and separate space for "personal time" was missed. We sold it after 6 months and ended up getting a Jay Feather 24T. Works out MUCH better for us.
Good luck on your adventure.
HELLO FROM CANADA.......the wife and I are about to buy the 21 .........no toilet compost and urine in black tank to boondock 6 months on Vancouver island.
-----> NOW .....should we buy the big storage box on the front of the trailer for 700 Canadian pecos ??
We want to insulate a 3/4 " plywood for that spot and add 2 10 inch fans for a 3 Honda and extra tank.
Would that nice looking 700.00 box handle the exhaust heat or just make Escape richer .....LOL
this trailer new per escape website 24,157$ us
But there are many extra cost options which in my opinion should be standard equipment. It will run up close to 30K USD by the time it is optioned up the way that 90% of customers would want it!
wow...that make is new to me and looks like a good choice. I took an early retirement & will take 2 years to "see America"...I am looking at Burros, Casitas etc. Just a heads up....if you are looking for nature near your state,,in New Mexico for $225 a year...you can live an entire YEAR in their state parks(14 days at a time each) I may just spend 4 months there,,,,,,at that price its like FREE camping! BTW when i am in Fla i live on a pontoon houseboat I built myself in the Keys(free "camping" on the water LOL) thenks for posting...cheers !
Great job on the production and voiceover, Casey. Will refer my younger clients to your video when we talk about "alternative lifestyles"! Thanks very much -
Hmmmm...Texas with severe weather to include high winds and tornadoes. Not sure I could stomach that in a lightweight flying pod.
REALLY enjoyed your video, the info/data you shared and your upbeat personality is quite welcomed! Who knows what my hubby and I will choose to do (he's 6'6" and we just don't have the budget for a heavy duty vehicle...much less an overpriced Oliver **wink**). Obviously I read all past comments. Quite an enlightening read! Wishing you all the best and hope you collect some commissions soon!!! ***smiles***
Weak video - rated a 2...out of 10. No financial info and no discussion of alternate products/models considered - which was expected based on the title and based on the intro, which indicated this was a new purchase. If so, then what else did you consider and what are the plusses and minuses, etc. One thing that looks horrible about this unit is the lav/toilet/shower room - as I recall even the Casistas has a better layout. Speaking of layout - the video is also weak on that score. Finally, too much recital of model numbers, etc on the optional/extra gear and electronics and not enough of an explanation for what those things do, why have them, etc - except the voltage input regulator - that was a good explanation.
All in all -poor attempt and I am not sold at all on this product - in fact am turned off.
NICE , JOB ON IT ALL.
Just wondering why you drove from Texas to Chilliwack BC yo buy an Escape trailer when you could have bought a Casita from the manufacturer in Texas.Both are really great trailers, but that is one long drive and then all the registration hoops to jump through as well. Maybe Escape trailers are more of a 4 season trailer ?
Casey, we also have a 2015 Escape 19, and we also live in San Antonio. Unfortunately we don't get to camp as much as we would like, but we absolutely love our 19. Did I see another video where you sold yours? Not sure.
The Voltage does tell you the capacity. A 12v battery will be about 14v at 100% and 10v at 0%. You have to find the voltage variance of your battery and then you will know what the battery voltage is at 50%. In most cases a 12v reading is 50% battery Capacity
Nice review, very informative
Wondering if you compared Escape with Casita (which is a 4hr drive from San Antonio)? If so, your thought process in deciding on Escape? Thank you. Tom L.
Nice review, fantastic Trailer"(caravan im in uk)"" these would sell well in Europe" cant beat fiberglass alround construction, I guess if they are insulated for Texas hot climate, they would be also good for uk "cold weather"nice vid.
lots of good technical info but it would have been nice to get a view of the inside looking both ways...you showed absolutely zero of the interior except for the fridge...lol....are the cabinets real wood or pressboard? How do you find the quality of the build?
Saw your escape video. Liked it. What is your tow vehicle? What was your purchase price along with the added features? I'm interested in a siilar camper but not sure the costs.
Thank you.
MM
how do you keep sewer and water hoses from freezing when you are plugged in at your lot?.... the sewer hose runs from the trailer into the lot space drain outlet when you are not boondocking...does it directly flow or do you periodically empty the blackwater tank?.... I'm a newbie
Casey, now that you have had time with the 19, are there any options you wish you had or had not done? Are the 2x6volt still working for you? No plans of lithium yet? The 19 seems like a perfect size👍
@casey Friday Hi is your frontier 4x4? Do you feel you need a 4x4 to pull the trailer? thanks for the answer
Did I miss the section for the dining table area?? And a sitting area to watch TV?? If so, plz tell me where in the segment, thank you. I like and think it is a smart idea how the same shower head for the shower is also for the bathroom sink.It is also very pretty. I like that it is different andyet looks homey inside.
Thanks for the tour. Have never been in an Escape before and it looks well made. And is that a Buddy Rider on your bike? How do you like and more importantly how does you dog like it? How much does your dog weigh? Would love some feed back on the Buddy Rider.
How difficult was it to bring it back in to the US? We are looking at Casitas, Scamps, and Escapes.
I don't want a trailer that's going to crack apart I want something that's going to stand up I can't believe they make this thing he got a crack apart oh my God
Very nice setup, and I agree with Captain Quirk's comments regarding your camera technique. It was a pleasure compared to others. Nicely done.
what is the max weight you suggest for a travel tailor if I own a nissan frontier? Mine is a 2016 rated for 6500lbs. we are not full timers and are interested in vacation rv'ing only. great video and thanks for any info.
Nice, but too many options, many of which should be included as standard equipment.
You have some wonderful electrical upgrades. Which AC transfer switch did you use?
cool, where abouts in SA? I ask, only b/c that's where I am and I am looking into different living arrangements like this
The background music on this video is so distracting I can’t finish the video even 5ough I am very interested in the subject.
Very comprehensive. I'm sure you guys are having lots of fun. You even covered the the full time insurance thing. I never thought about that.
10' and I don't really know what the inside looks like - only closeups of everything.
Background music is irritating, distracting, want to listen to u!
yeah! Its a kool trailer. 19' is real effiecient. Its a good price.can u tow it with a small car when not loaded.
If you want more space and a separate area to hang out in and Captain's chairs, tow it with a class B motorhome. That would be perfect!
So you're riding around giving us in Texas your reputation, good to know.
normally u don't like wet bath model but this trailer is so nice I could be able to over look that nice video
I like escape because its a little wider than an oliver, although oliver is double hulled and greater quality overall.
What s cute trailer. Has everything. Nice for one or 2 people. thanks
Would a 2016 Toyota Sienna LE van be able to pull this trailer?
Thank you for the tour Casey. I had not seen an Escape before so much appreciated.
To anyone perusing I believe I would recommend a Bigfoot RV over an Escape. They are similarly fibreglass built and ar Bigfoots e in fact quite famous for their winter use even in extremely cold temperatures (as in -20 or colder) as they have heavier insulation in them. They have 17,21 and 25 ft models. More of the features that are standard on a Bigfoot are options on the Escape. I really like the Bigfoot 25ft model which has a queen bed, dinette and a sofa - but they do have a 17ft with a real fridge, bath, dinette and sep bed if one wants a lighter weight TT.
The thing about either of these Canadian manufacturers is that they are high quality RV builders and so they are not on the cheap side. But if you want full fibreglass, dual axles for real carrying capacity, and real craftmanship that holds up then they are great choices.
We need the most important question answered how much roundabouts will this set me back
Do you hear the refrigerator running @ night, because the fridge is next to bed ? That would be a deal breaker for me!
Casey! my badd for spelling your name wrong ugh
Very nice review. I like this camper based on your comments.
Have you had any problems with the Aluminum Frame?
Well done, nice trailer but i dont like my wife that much to be confined in that small a space.
What mailing service do you use? Going full-time to a trailer in Texas too.
